पैंट सूखी है।

Roughly: paiṇṭ sūkhī hai.

A simple English-friendly approximation is paint sookh-ee hai, but with a few Hindi details:

• पैंट: the vowel is nasalized, and ट is a retroflex t made with the tongue curled back slightly.
• सूखी: सू sounds like soo, and ख is an aspirated kh sound.
• है: often pronounced something like hai or heh, depending on accent and speaking style.

Hindi usually does not use articles like a, an, and the the way English does.

So पैंट सूखी है can be understood from context as something like:

• the pants are dry
• the pair of pants is dry
• pants are dry

If you want to be more specific, Hindi often uses words like:

• यह पैंट = this pair of pants
• वह पैंट = that pair of pants

In Hindi, every noun has a grammatical gender, including many borrowed words from English.

पैंट is normally treated as a feminine noun in standard Hindi, so other words agreeing with it also take feminine forms.

For example:

• नई पैंट = new pants
• पैंट छोटी है = the pants are small/short
• पैंट सूखी है = the pants are dry

There is not always a logical reason for gender in Hindi, so this is mostly something you memorize with the noun.

Because सूखी agrees with पैंट, which is feminine singular.

The adjective सूखा changes like this:

• सूखा = masculine singular
• सूखे = masculine plural
• सूखी = feminine singular and feminine plural

So:

• कपड़ा सूखा है = the cloth is dry
• कमीज़ सूखी है = the shirt is dry
• पैंट सूखी है = the pants are dry

This is a very common question.

In English, pants is grammatically plural. But in Hindi, पैंट usually refers to one garment and is treated as a singular noun.

So Hindi says:

• पैंट सूखी है = literally more like the pant garment is dry

If you are talking about more than one pair, then you use the plural:

• पैंटें सूखी हैं = the pants / the pairs of pants are dry

So the difference is grammatical, not about meaning.

Because in this sentence, सूखी is part of the predicate: it tells you what the pants are.

A common Hindi pattern is:

• noun + adjective + है/हैं

So:

• पैंट सूखी है = the pants are dry

But when the adjective directly describes the noun inside a noun phrase, it usually comes before the noun:

• सूखी पैंट = dry pants / a dry pair of pants

So compare:

• सूखी पैंट = dry pants
• पैंट सूखी है = the pants are dry

In this sentence, सूखी is functioning as an adjective meaning dry.

It is related to the verb सूखना, which means to dry or to become dry.

That is why Hindi can also say:

• पैंट सूख गई है = the pants have dried / the pants got dry

The difference is:

• पैंट सूखी है focuses on the state: the pants are dry
• पैंट सूख गई है focuses more on the change/result: the pants have become dry

Both are natural, but they are not exactly the same in nuance.

The standard plural would be:

• पैंटें सूखी हैं।

Here:

• पैंटें = plural of पैंट
• सूखी = feminine form, used for feminine plural too
• हैं = plural are

So:

• एक पैंट सूखी है। = one pair of pants is dry
• दो पैंटें सूखी हैं। = two pairs of pants are dry

Yes, but पैंट is extremely common in everyday Hindi.

You may also come across पतलून, which is an older or more traditional word for pants/trousers. In modern speech, though, पैंट is usually the most natural choice.

So for most learners, पैंट सूखी है is a very normal sentence to learn.
